For me this time around is really bad, because I started playing on the TOPS server, and have been waiting 4+ months for it to reset to play again. They said it would be when the first 1.22 rc was out, but they still haven't reset TOPS. I assume this was because of some of the bugs with the first rc version. But now that those are resolved, I'm just waiting. I know it is close, but the days keep on passing by, it truly is hell for me right now...

When I was cooking a stack of flint, it was taking so long I thought it was a good idea to do some farm harvesting while I wait. Problem was, I must have went just far enough away for the chunk to unload, and the fire stopped, and everything cooled down. So I had to start all over

I was playing around with pre-4 last night an noticed something interesting. When returning home my crops had a bunch of rabbits, deer, etc eating them. I remember something in the notes saying a bug was fixed regarding this. But ever since I started playing a little over a year ago, I have never seen this behavior before. At first I was annoyed, then I realized I could use my crops as bait, dug some pits. Now I have plenty of food while I wait for my crops to grow!

I have been looking every day excited for the TOPS reset as well. Once they announced the reset I haven't played much at all, a little bit here and there in single player worlds. But I really am looking forward to play on TOPS and work on some long term builds. I was counting the days until the reset, until they held it off again for the next update, now I have no idea when it will reset, so I keep checking back on the news each day. Really itching to play again!

Knapping only works if you hit one rock with another. Make sure you have a rock/flint in your hand when working on it in the world.

I’d love for the starving sound to be different. I can’t tell you how many times I’m playing with someone and they suddenly panic, convinced they’re being attacked by something unseen. I rush over to help, only to discover there’s nothing there—just their sheepish, ‘…I forgot to eat again.’

I love the ash idea, it could pile up like snow, the bigger taller your house is that burned down the taller the ash piles are afterwards.

I went in knowing nothing, and yes I was a ragdoll as well. It wasn't until I started reading spoilers after the fact that I learned that. I also didn't know that when wearing full iron plate armor healing was 0% effective and thought it was a bug. lol

Beautiful building!

If you are looking to add some text to the map see the "Guide/Contribute": https://map.tops.vintagestory.at/?x=0&y=0&zoom=6#contribute It's as simple as adding a sign and adding text "<AM:BASE>" with the name you want to display. Keep in mind this won't show up immediately, they only update the TOPS map about once a month.

I think you should be able to harvest the glow worms and use them to create the glowing blocks that are only in creative mode. I would really love the ability to chisel glowing letters, signs, art, etc in survival mode.

When exploring, always, always bring stacks of ladders!

When I logged in to this update the first thing I noticed was how fuzzy everything looked. I ended up turning off bloom, which helped a lot, and turning up the texture quality. In case anyone else has this issue.

I was unaware that holding a torch helped, I will try this next time. I was under 50% health and was harvesting 20+ skeps when it happened, lots of bees attacking me, lol.
